Governance in a non-profit – A Corporate Governance Podcast

Governance in a non-profit – a focused look at what it means to serve on the board of directors of an NGO, and how to approach the usual corporate governance requirements through a non-profit lens.

Join your host, Dan Byrne, as he corporate governance in non-profits with Muddy Ramrakha, an impact investor based in Nairobi, Kenya, who has many years experience in 

Nonprofits are in a league of their own when it comes to company management. Their day-to-day functions can resemble for-profits in many ways, but their ultimate financial goals and the stakeholders they serve are fundamentally different. 

Despite that, many directors in for-profits make the move to non-profits and vice versa, and they need adequate knowledge to make that leap. 

Dan and Muddy will discuss all the differences, and pay particular attention to how crucial governance issues like ESG and AI, matter in the non-profit world.

Muddy Ramrakha is a recent graduate of CGI’s diploma in corporate governance and has an executive career in corporate leadership. Highlights include his role as vice president and executive director at JP Morgan, as well as membership of the Green Angel Syndicate – an investment syndicate specialising in the fight against climate change. 

Muddy has worked within or with organisations in Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, and has spoken publicly on topics like ESG, and economic/environmental impact investment.

The Corporate Governance Podcast is your taster of what’s new in governance worldwide. The modern director understands that boardroom responsibilities have dramatically increased, and old norms are being challenged by new ideals around sustainable business that respect all stakeholders – not just shareholders. 

Because of this, corporate governance education is an invaluable addition to a director’s skillset—something that will help you stand out amongst your colleagues. 

CGI offers dedicated diplomas in both corporate governance and ESG – as well as numerous other certificates focusing on the areas of governance you’re passionate about. 

They’re delivered entirely online, and self-paced – meaning you can learn and study at a rate that suits you.
